Top care!! We took our injured puppy there when she was involved in an accident. Haydon vets done their magic and have given her a chance. Still a long way to go but without them for sure we would have lost our little girl

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I have been taking my cats here for years. Sadly my cat Milo became poorly and required many visits and constant check ups. Oliver was more than happy to have regular phone calls to review medication and amend as necessary, nothing felt like too much trouble. Unfortunately he was unable to get better but the staff here went out of their way to do everything they could and showed professionalism and compassion at every stage. I also had appointments with Oscar and Rebecca, and felt equally impressed with their knowledge, support and advice. The receptionists Chrissie and Shelly could not be more kind and compassionate and remember who you are when you call or visit. I can't speak highly enough of the team at Haydon Vets, and wouldn't hesitate to encourage people to register here. This is a team of people that are clearly passionate and care deeply about their customers.

We brought our two rescue dogs (10 and 7 years) to be keyhole spayed. The service and care from everyone there was first class. Our dogs had a very speedy recovery, and it was well worth the extra cost.

Everyone has been so caring, kind and understanding at Haydon vets. They are so easy to talk to and are trying everything they can to help our poorly little pouch in a way that is best for him and keeping the costs as low as possible for us as we dont have pet insurance. I always feel comforted and reassured and trust everything they are doing. We are so very grateful to each member of staff there. Thank you! 🐾

Caroline gave me all the support and she made sure Luna received all the attention there! On the 3rd day Luna was back to normal despite she had all these procedures done in few hours! Thank you for taking care of my baby!

Recently took my cat here after a referral from my vet. My cat looked ok and was eating and my vet picked up an irregular heartbeat.The day I took him I was not expecting to be told he either needs putting to sleep that day or a procedure to help him as it was worse than we thought. We chose the procedure. Alice the Specialist was lovely and talked me through everything throughout the whole process and other members of staff I saw were also friendly and helpful. I now have my precious boy back thanks to Alice and her team so can't thank them enough for giving me more time with my little boy.

A very clean and professional environment. The first points of contact, the receptionists were very polite and efficient. When we met Alba (surgeon) and her assistant, I was super impressed by how polite and thorough they were. I feel more than reassured that she will carry out the surgery on my hound to a high standard. I will report back after this is done shortly. The practice has plenty of parking, along with a number of disabled bays. The appearance of the practice is maintained to a high standard. Oh, and I nearly forgot there is a free tea and coffee bar with biscuits available 😋

Fond Farewell Vets

Rating: 5 (87) Price Level:

A huge thank you to James & Suzy for their help, understanding and consideration during an increasingly inevitable, but surprisingly unexpected and painful time of saying farewell to our treasured & well loved 15 year old Hardy. I still can’t quite believe how it all rushed up at us so quickly, even though we were now living with many of the signs, before Hardy made it clear to us that this was the moment he needed to say his farewells; before starting his next journey. Even though we weren't all at home, WhatsApp enabled both children to share their love and instruct last cuddles, kisses, strokes and goodbyes before James reassuringly and painlessly, carefully & calmly helped him on his way. We were his family, all in the room, all at home, for our Hardy's moment & final farewell and for that we will all be eternally grateful. Thank you James & Suzy for all the care, compassion and help with all that could be done from start to finish, and your kind words. The Noel Family xx

At nearly 15 years old we had to make the very hard decision to say goodbye to our gorgeous Black Labrador Charlie. Rather than taking Charlie to the vets we decided to have him put to sleep at our home. We did our research & found Fond Farewell Vets. James was superb, handling everything from start to finish sympathetically to us and with dignity & care for Charlie. For such a very sad occasion we both felt it could not of been handled better. James took care of every detail & our lovely boy had his last tasty treats on his quilt out in the garden. We will miss him everyday but we both know he had the best ending to a full & fun life. Thank you to James for helping us with making the right decision & for taking such good care of us and Charlie in his final hours. Chris & Chris

As a family, we recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beloved 19 year old cat, Gump. We wanted him to be at home as he’d always been such a home boy and we couldn’t bear the thought of him not being on his beloved sofa for his final sleep. We found Fond Farewell after a quick Google search and Suzy was very thoughtful and understanding when I spoke with her on the phone. James called back a little while later to confirm a few details and discuss when we’d like him to visit. As we have 2 secondary school aged daughters we asked for a later visit as we wanted to bring them home first to spend some time with Gump before James visited us, he was very accommodating regarding this. James arrived and took plenty of time to explain, firstly to my husband and myself what would happen, and then our daughters joined us before he began with the process. James was incredibly calm, professional and thoughtful when it came to dealing with not only 2 adults, but 2 heartbroken teenage girls. He never once rushed us and also went to another room whilst we said goodbye one last time as a family, before returning for the final injections. Our beautiful boy, passed away peacefully surrounded by the people who had loved him for 19 years, at home in his favourite spot and we are incredibly grateful that we could do this for him. Thank you Fond Farewell for undertaking, what cannot be an easy task, in such a thoughtful, considerate and kind manner. We will be forever thankful that on such a sad day you were able to make it just that bit easier on us all.

They say it's 1 of the hardest decisions you make, and they are totally right, but with a heavy heart I made the call. From 1st phone call I was reassured and made to feel calm by James. He listened to Patch's life story and reassure me it was the best thing for him. As for the dreaded day I can not express how peacefull James made it, was able to hold patch as he drifted off snoring away in his own bed. Wasn't intrusive and wasn't rushed just very peaceful. The aftercare was outstanding. Patch wasn't a pet he was a family member, and we couldn't of wished for a better sending off.

It’s almost been 2 weeks now since James visited our family home to help our dog Buster who had become suddenly very unwell. A close to 14 year old collie entwined in our lives, each day we learn to live without him here. We can not thank you enough for your support during this heart breaking time for our family. We have so much gratitude for the service you offer, allowing Buster to rest in peace at home surrounded by us all. Best wishes, Sarah.

My cats Merlin and Gus had their injections here at Damory, Blandford and the team are just so lovely. The waiting room was clean and I love that they offered towels sprayed with Feliway. There’s also a place off the ground to place your cat carrier to give that extra comfort for your cat. I’ve also signed up for the monthly pet plan. They’ve assured me that they will send text reminders for worm/flea/yearly vaccination too which is great! 🐱

Damory vets are truly amazing. They are so helpful and friendly. They are very understanding when I tell them I don't drive so will need a weekend appointment. They are very patient with all the questions and don't make you feel like you have to rush. They are so good with my cats and very gentle. They have a separate waiting room for cats and dogs and provide blankets to cover your cat carriers so your cats are less stress when waiting. I would recommend them every time.

Have used Natterjacks Vets Bournemouth for many years now. Really great vets. Staff are friendly and helpful. Took our two cats Lily and Honey recently for their yearly health check and vaccinations. All went well although Lily had a little accident in her carrier on the way there bless her. The lovely vet I think her name is Katie was so good about it and cleaned her up. She was lovely and gave them a good check over. Lily has some gum disease and Katie recommend a toothpaste for her. Honey was a bit naughty which is unusual for as normally she is brilliant at the vets. Katie was so good with her and patient. Would recommend this place although I think they are fully booked I'm not surprised as they have a good reputation.

Couldn’t recommend Natterjacks enough. Our vet is Vicki, who is the absolute best. She’s so kind & knows my dog inside out, all of his lumps and bumps etc. She reassures us & puts us at ease. Going to the vets isn’t always a pleasant experience but it is with Natterjacks. Thank you, all!

Unfortunately we had to say our last goodbyes to our elderly pug on Monday. After a rapid decline in health over the weekend, I was offered an emergency appointment only 2 hours after I phoned. My vet was Louise. She assessed the situation and ran through all of our options in order to help our loyal companion. We had to come to the decision when we got home that the kindest option for Elsie was to let her go. There are no words that will express the gratitude that I have for Louise, for making what was the hardest day of my life so far, bearable. She made it so peaceful, so calm and managed to make it a comforting experience all whilst validating our decision and emotions. By far the best vet I have ever dealt with over the years and I will always look back on this experience and say “Thankyou Louise” and I am sure that Elsie is out there somewhere equally grateful for making her last few moments so tranquil. Thankyou. Thankyou. Thankyou.

I've been a customer of Natterjacks since 2012 with my first greyhound. In the years since I've taken not only my own dogs there but many others for friends and family. The practice is well organised and well staffed with huge knowledge in the vets, nurses, and assistant. They retain the 'family' feel from the early days and their empathy for you and your pet is first class, with follow up calls for your pet's wellbeing and progress after treatment. They keep up to date with the best of the new treatments ie K-lazer and medication for the best outcomes. Will always highly recommend Natterjacks

We have been with Vetsmiths since Sam and Chris opened their Surgery. Our beautiful rescue boy Barney has been looked after so well by everyone. The whole team and the care is outstanding in every aspect and it truly is an absolutely wonderful place. Barney recently had to have surgery and I can honestly say that his op and after care was fantastic. Thank you Lorna and every one at Vetsmiths for caring about every animal that comes through your doors. You are all amazing!

Vetsmiths' practice was highly recommended to us. We therefore approached the practice as we have a rescue dog ( shih tzu ) that has had aggression issues and our previous veterinary practice classified him as 'A difficult dog ' that they could not treat. The vets at Vetsmiths have been absolutely amazing with Bertie. They have taken a calm stress free approach with him, giving him time and attention to help him relax. I can't express enough how grateful I am to Vetsmiths for the treatment my dog receives. It is a pleasure to take Bertie there, plus we are also very well catered for. Many Thanks.

All staff are fabulous! There receptionists are pleasant to talk to and kind. The nursing staff are second to none. The veterinary surgeons are professional, caring, very knowledgeable, gentle and sympathetic. Our cats have had more than 9 lives because of these people. Veterinary surgeon Modestas has known our cats for over 16 years. He has nurtured and loved our twin gingers and saved Sox many times with his fantastic knowledge of medication and procedures since he was 2 years old. We are so very grateful for everything he has done. We recently sadly, said goodbye to Sox. The care and respect for him and us was very touching. We can, without any hesitation recommend Kingston Vets in Yeovil.

Posted on behalf of Angela Walker Peacock and Fly. A very big thank you to David for all he's done for Fly over the last 10 years (he has done her proud). She has had a number of major problems; diagnosed and dealt with expertly and explained meticulously. Our consultations were never hurries, no matter how busy he happened to be. Katie has helped with Fly's physiotherapy and advice with how to manage her back problem, for which I am extremely grateful.
